What to Expect The EMEA Infrastructure Development team is seeking a Senior Cost Estimator to serve as the subject matter expert in construction cost estimating across Tesla's EMEA portfolio, including Service Centers, Retail Stores, Delivery Hubs, and Non-SSD sites (R&D, Training, Offices, etc.) You will drive the transition from decentralized regional estimating to a centralized EMEA-wide approach — defining the methodology, standards, templates, and governance for how projects are evaluated. You will deliver independent, reliable construction cost estimates at every project stage, giving project teams, designers, procurement, and leadership a trusted reference for go/no-go decisions. What You’ll Do - Develop cost estimates from Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) through detailed CapEx budgets, with accuracy appropriate to each project stage (AACE estimate classes as reference framework) - Produce high-level estimates based on historic data to support go/no-go decisions against key cost metrics - Analyze plans, Due diligence reports and interpret designs; perform dimensional quantity take-offs; identify scope implied but not explicitly shown in design documents - Develop and manage a Basis of Estimate for each project — scope, execution strategy, precision level, assumptions, exclusions, risks, and critical information - Lead value engineering at early design stages, providing cost-driven feedback and recommendations to designers - Visit project sites as required to validate scope, site conditions, and constraints in support of estimation — working from assumptions and scope definition provided by the Project Manager, Real Estate team and design team - Support the Procurement and PMs with contractor pricing validation and bid leveling to ensure we are receiving good value for spends - Contribute to continuous improvement of estimating processes - Maintain and update the cost database, ensuring pricing reflects current market conditions, inflation, transport costs, and
